(I love those handy little gadgets).<br />I've tatted the sheep (free standing) before. I made a couple for practice in size 10 thread and attached them to ribbon for bookmarks. Made them with black faces and white bodies. This is a much better color in silk, don't know if I'll do the black faces though (a little tricky adding the thread, but it worked fine. I don't want to mix silk with Black cotton for the face. <br />Yes, Tatskool ~ LOL for my first doily, I ended up with Sheep (but that's what daughter picked out from the 3 patterns I gave her to choose from. (so really my own fault) I thought sure she'd pick the Festival Elephant (and I'd gathered all the spangles, little bells and tiny tassels for the decorations, too). I'll still do that one, l'd like to paint a back ground (African Sunset with a tree - standard fare - and put Elephant to forefront….<br />In very bright colors red/yellow/purples<br />Like those I saw during the Hadj in Yuba City Parades. <br /><br />xx Bev<br />So pleased I found more celery in the right size thread.Ridgewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268684588250261751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837489482239530928.post-63331719544448010492010-03-14T12:35:26.077-06:002010-03-14T12:35:26.077-06:00That's quite a task you have set yourself, tho...That's quite a task you have set yourself, those designs are not easy.

The Middle Earth is really a prettier shade than it is shown; but I needed to get the red of the little rosebuds to show up…so fiddled with color. I also wanted to show the beauty of the cherry red silent tatter acquired from Fox (think her tatting abilities will rub off on my doily? I could only hope)<br />Actually this piece does move along quite fast as long as I keep at it on a regular basis. Now that I've moved on, I see it getting done soon. There are 9 rounds total (with the sheep). <br />I think I've found a color that will coordinate with the Celery ~ Actually if I looked, I may even find some #10 downstairs (ugh sigh ~ down stairs, pufff puff) I didn't buy much #10 but I've loads of 20 and other sizes. I have some 10 that was from an exchange. Might work a bit and see if it would fight<br />with the green or be 'friendly'. <br />Oh Jane, you are so funny. I diagnose the typical "come to me, go away syndrome" in there somewhere ` like a push me/pull you? LOL<br />Sally, actually it really isn't that difficult, except figuring out how many to add at the ends of the oval ~ to keep it flat.<br />For some reason I have buckets of patience for tatting; alas, not for much else. (shame on me)<br />Thanks guys for hanging in there with me on the blog. love, BJRidgewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268684588250261751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837489482239530928.post-10703439609492534812010-03-14T09:28:41.801-06:002010-03-14T09:28:41.801-06:00Gosh that first piece is a lot of work, patience i...Gosh that first piece is a lot of work, patience is required, bags and buckets of it!

No wonder you are driven round the bend with the process!<br /><br />I love that purple thread in the bookmark. Great with that pattern.<br /><br />Oh, if I had Celery in my stash, I would send it to you! Alas, no such luck. : (<br /><br />I hate it when I run out and I have just run out of my favourite.
